Why do you think cheating is more common in the current generation?

It's because marriage and monogamy are more recent. Before, we used to have sex and sleep around. Poly was the natural order. That's why the Muslim birth rate is so high, and the divorce rate is so low because the man can have up to 4 wives. I am not Muslim or religious, though.

And that's also why we see Christian Churches closing up everywhere. The man is always on the wife, and the wife cheats as well because it's not natural. Traditional marriage mostly plays off of people's insecurities. "I can't do this because you told me. I can't do that because god told me," and they just end up suffering in a sexless marriage and then divorce.

As for me, I have two girlfriends. Yes, I sleep around. I am poly. My girlfriends like that I am poly. We don't feel any shame or guilt, and we aren't miserable. I like variety and frequency from multiple women. I don't care what some guy on the internet has to say about it because he's probably an incel or red pill man who can't get laid waiting for a trad wife who will never come.

I feel like traditional roles just make men and women more miserable and hold us back from our potential and happiness. I hope more men give up on traditionalism. You're just embarrassing yourself, not getting laid, and acting like pussy listening to Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate.

Social media and the internet is the main reason. People can find someone else to flirt with at the swipe of a finger nowadays. Women have their egos fueled by the influx of guys matching with and messaging them as soon as they put a semi decent photo or 2 on social or dating apps. Back in the day you only had to compete with one guy named Joe in another city. Nowadays you need to compete with every Joe named Joe and every other dude that's not Joe right there in her phone. That makes girl's attention spans extremely small. They can't talk hold conversations because there's always someone that's better. And it's funny because in person, that girl can't do anywhere near as well with those same guys. Social media, dating apps, and feminism have divided people and caused the war of the sexes.

Cheating is not new, it’s just not taken as seriously as it used to be. In Biblical times, a person caught cheating, and their affair partner, would be put to death for their actions. There are some states in the US where adultery is criminalized as a class 3 misdemeanor worthy of a fine jail time, but the laws are rarely enforced and may even be unconstitutional.

Every sort of degeneracy is becoming more common, so of course cheating is one of them.

There is only one reason. In the past there were a few reasons. A major one was societal disapproval and withdrawal of the benefits of marriage. Women were reluctant to have anything to do with known cheaters and ditto men.

The principal reason was that there was the fear of your spouse finding out and of fault divorce. Simply people don't care anymore and no fault divorce means there is financial penalty.

Because the current generations morals are through the floor as a whole. Women think it's OK to sleep with a guy on a whim. And as a result men do not have to work to earn that. As a result neither gender really gets to know eachother no bond is formed. And when they get bored with one another they go thier separate ways. Hopefully no bastard kids are created in the process.

Lack of morals and responsibility, normalising cheating through social media, being away from religion and not realising the damage it does.

Easier to meet random people with technology. People definitely cheated a lot in the past as well. It was just easier to get away with.

If I can believe what I read on this site it looks like it is social media

[Bklynbadboy12]

Honestly I don't think it is. I think it's less common cause now a days people don't want relationships they just want to hook up cause we live in a hook up culture

[Ironic_Method]

Not specifically. Cheating has been around forever. People have always been terrible.

[Staximus]

I don't know about cheating but there is definitely more casual relationships

[KrakenAttackin]

Because women are under huge amounts of sexual pursuit via Instagram and dating apps.

[Kelly6]

Because this generation jump into marriage without having strong love and loyalty trust

[In_Trance]

It's definitely not more common than any other generation

I don't know if I'm convinced there's more cheaters, perhaps social media is just be helping SOs finding out.

Marriage is dying out and monogamy is rare in a world of hook-ups

I wonder if social media is the culprit.
